Property Description
Welcome to 544 Avonwood Road in the prestigious Northside Haverford neighborhood. Crafted in 1953 by the esteemed architect Roland T. Addis, this early Virginia Colonial home is a testament to classic charm and impeccable craftsmanship. 544 Avonwood Road presents an antique reproduction of Colonial Williamsburg mid-century residences.
As you approach the brick exterior, a sense of history and character envelopes you, setting the tone for what lies within. Step through the entrance hall, where gleaming hardwood floors and abundant natural light greet you, accentuating elegant details such as chair rails and crown moldings.
The living and dining areas effortlessly flow together, creating a warm and inviting ambiance perfect for gatherings large and small. A focal point fireplace, flanked by built-in shelves, adds warmth and character, while French doors beckon you to outdoor spaces designed for relaxed entertaining.
The kitchen, equipped with premium appliances, including an AGA range and a slate floor with 16 x 16 tiles overlooks a beautifully landscaped backyard—a tranquil oasis away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
Upstairs, the primary suite awaits, offering luxurious comfort with a dressing area and bathroom. Two additional bedrooms and a hall bath complete the second level.
Convenience meets functionality with a partial basement housing a half bath and direct access to a two-car garage, providing ample storage space and added convenience. Central air, a security system, and refined wood details throughout further enhance the home's allure, promising a lifestyle of comfort and sophistication.
Outside, the enchantment continues as the seasons unfold. From the delicate blooms of witch hazel in late January to the vibrant rhododendron in early March, the landscape transforms with each passing month. Explore the meticulously designed yard, where four distinct sections offer their own unique allure, from the captivating dogwood forest below to the native flora bordering the upper side.
Well maintained and perfectly situated for a quick commute to the city and airport, and surrounded by highways, shopping centers, and parks, this residence offers not just a home, but a sanctuary where the beauty of nature intertwines with the timeless elegance of the architecture.
